Lvs. opposite, ovate, dentate: fls. in 5's; petals not inclosing the stamens, which are rather in 1 row, dehiscing by a single somewhat 2-valved pore; disk glandular, crenate, almost 5-lobed: caps. loculicidally 2-valved.—Two species, Austral.

Austral. Rarely cult. A plant is mentioned as in cult. under the name of T. ericoides hirsuta, Bedingh., but there seems to be some confusion and also doubt as to what it is.
